‘We are not playing cards’. Zelensky’s response to Trump’s ignorant, simplistic summary of his position. Trump doesn’t want peace. He wants to extort the Ukrainians to agree to a deal on Putin’s terms. America just gave away its victory in the Cold War.

Just staggering…37%! But I’m really not surprised. Misogyny is everywhere.
‘UK Women's March said it was protesting the 37% rise in violence against women and girls since 2018’
Could we please start by agreeing that playing cricket against Afghanistan is unconscionable?

World's most followed amateur cricket team, you say?
Ukraine's first T20 match against @icelandcricket.bsky.social may be a few months away, but we're already feeling competitive.
Can we beat Iceland to 2,000?

We are the world's most followed amateur cricket team on X, but we've never received such sustained positive vibes and interactions as in our first 4.5 days on Bluesky.
